For more than 100 years, the St. John’s Cadet Corps Leadership Program has forged young men and women into leaders. This values-based leadership program is grounded in our Lasallian mission, inspired by tradition, and focused on the importance of leadership and service.

The Four Pillars:
Leadership, Cadet Culture, Character, Health and Wellness

The four pillars of the program are designed to engage and develop the whole student. This comprehensive approach helps cadets achieve balance and depth in their overall development, allowing them to become more effective leaders.

At its core, leadership involves influencing others to accomplish a goal. The Cadet Corps teaches students leadership principles and how to positively lead themselves and others. The program progresses and cadets earn more responsibility in each grade.

Leadership, The Four Pillars

The structure of the program builds on the rich history of the Cadet Corps and teaches discipline, accountability, resilience, and citizenship, while providing cadets opportunities to practice leadership.

Cadet Culture, The Four Pillars

Students will understand the importance of honesty, personal courage, and selflessness, and how they impact one’s ability to lead. The Cadet Corps builds character by providing service opportunities and inspiring cadets to choose the harder right over the easier wrong.

Character, The Four Pillars

Effective leaders are mentally and physically healthy and have meaningful relationships in their lives. The Cadet Corps provides opportunities for cadets to develop their physical health while also learning about important wellness concepts in the classroom.

A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP

BEYOND ST. JOHN'S

Graduates from the Cadet Corps Leadership Program have a distinct advantage when applying for college, service academies, and reserve officer training corps (ROTC) programs, because of the unique nature of the classroom instruction and leadership experience provided in the cross grade–level program. Cadets learn and practice leadership, making them more well-rounded students.
